With General Chennault: The Story of the Flying Tigers is a book written by Robert B. Hotz that narrates the incredible story of the American Volunteer Group (AVG), also known as the Flying Tigers, during World War II. The book follows the life and leadership of General Claire Lee Chennault, a retired U.S. Army Air Corps officer who was tasked with creating a group of American pilots to defend China against Japanese aggression.The book is divided into three parts, each covering a significant period in the Flying Tigers' history. The first part explores the formation of the AVG and the recruitment of pilots, mechanics, and support staff. The second part focuses on the Flying Tigers' combat missions against the Japanese in China, Burma, and India, and how they became a symbol of hope for the Chinese people. The third part describes the disbandment of the AVG and the creation of the China Air Task Force, which continued to fight alongside the Chinese against the Japanese until the end of the war.With General Chennault: The Story of the Flying Tigers is a well-researched and engaging book that provides a detailed account of one of the most remarkable military units in history. It is a tribute to the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of the men and women who served with the Flying Tigers and a testament to the leadership of General Chennault. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in aviation, military history, or the human spirit's resilience in times of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
